Facebook Goes on the Record About Ad Claims

Facebook has been in the hot seat this past week over claims that the social network has been letting third-party advertisers post people’s photos without permission, causing a flurry of conversation among confused users on both its site and Twitter. The buzz caught Facebook’s eye and prompted the company to put up a blog post this afternoon. According to Facebook:

The advertisements that started these rumors were not from Facebook but placed within applications by third parties. Those ads violated our policies by misusing profile photos, and we already required the removal of those deceptive ads from third-party applications before this rumor began spreading.

The word rumor appears twice in the Facebook quote. The word rumor doesn’t mean whatever it is that Facebook thinks it means. What happened was a fact, not a rumor. People actually had their profile photos appear in ads (dating ads) within Facebook.

Facebook’s main problem is its CEO. Facebook needs a matured and experienced man to take the helm, not that young boy any more. If it continues with Zuckerberg, Facebook will be always begging for money, may be next time from Mafia :-).

This is great news report regarding Facebook. I know that they will get it working right in no time.
Privacy might of went out of hand, I know that they will do a good clean up. Everything will fall
into the right order. I love being a Facebook, they all kinds of fun activities, and good place to also
meet lots of friends.
